A/N: Well, here's the rewrite! I've changed the title from the long ass 'The Carnivore's Anime Fanatic Bestfriend' to the more simpler 'Yearning for Love'.

Natsumi: I think it actually fits the story more than the first title.

Me: Right? Now, I hope this is better than the first version. I'm still a newbie at this and is still in highschool so corrections and criticisms are always welcome~ 😊

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! It belongs to the awesome Amano Akira!

A/N: Now, on to the story!

Kimura Mio

In this harsh cruel world of ours, everyone are always yearning for someone to love them. Whether it's from their friends or family, they won't care what the consequences are so long as there is someone who loves them.

They wont hesitate to risk one thing or another for the sake of their loved ones. Whether it be their lives or not because that's how humans are.

The same goes for Kimura Mio. Always wanting to be loved and being treated like a normal human being. Now, don't start thinking that she's abnormal or something because I can assure you that she's perfectly normal. As normal as a love-yearning highchool girl can be.

Her parents, a fashion designer and a business man, both very successful, hated her for just one measly reason that all successful parents out there have always wanted:

A male heir to all their fortune and the one to be able to pass their name for generations to come.

Now, we're going to start her story seventeen years ago at 19th of May...

Kimura Takashi and Sakakibara Reira are happily married. They got everything they wanted from expensive clothes, imported furniture from France, a big Villa by the shore, to hundreds of maids and butlers to serve them. All of it were the fruits of their hardwork.

Everything was perfect and all they need now is a heir to all of their fortune as I mentioned above.

Reira, her unusually big stomach barely seen under the clothes she designed herself, was already 8 months pregnant with a healthy baby. She haven't come back in the hospital with her husband for a month for their monthly check-up with their soon-to-be baby (being busy and all) but she didn't thought too much of it.

Their baby is a boy, the doctor herself said so. No baby girl has ever kicked inside her womb that hard before. There is absolutely nothing to doubt.

But then came June 9th.

Reira has just woken up (way before dawn) beside her husband to an extreme pain in her lower abdomen. The screams that came from her mouth quickly woke Takashi up instantly along with a few servants near them.

"What's wrong?!" He asked, already starting to panick.

Reira answered in pained gasped, "T-The baby is c-coming! Gah!" She felt another pain rack her body and she screamed. The sound echoed down the hallways, waking the other servants and sending them all into panic (all wondering what was the cause of the noise until they realised it was a high pitched scream of pain and- OH MY GOD IT'S COMING FROM THE MISTRESS).

But her husband, Takashi, wasn't looking at her and instead staring in horror at the once white silk sheets below her gradually get soaked in more and more blood.

Takashi was sitting outside the room where Reira was currently having her labor.

Backing away almost 40 minutes ago, he didn't have time to take his bleeding wife to the hospital because the nearest one is at the other side of the town. It was actually a good thing that their family doctor lived nearer them and has rushed over right away the moment they called her.

After examining Reira for a few moments, the doctor said that if they didn't get the baby out right away then there's a high chance that not only the baby but also his wife would end up losing their lives.

That was when he started panicking. Their baby is about to die.

Coming back at the present time...

Takashi, just like any soon-to-be father, was worried about both the lives of the baby and his wife. With every scream that he heard, his anxiety continued to grow.

Not to mention that he was also starting to feel frightened by the thought of being a father. He never really thought about it until now but the idea of having a little monster (heir or not) running around his house and destroying the things that he worked hard on buying was not something that he looked forward to into the future.

Takashi's jaw tightened as another scream pierce the otherwise quiet and empty hallway. A few maid servants were helping with the labor while the others scrammed away.

He was really not prepared for this. He was already starting to sweat. Despite still being Summer in Japan, his body felt oddly cold. He was wishing and wishing that "Please, I'm not fit to be a father, don't make me go through this just yet, please!"

Then, a scream, longer than the previous ones, broke his thought and following that was a high-pitched wailing coming from obviously the one thing he didn't want to have most right now.

But something, something, about that wailing made a smile appear across his face without him knowing it. All previous thoughts of denial were quickly thrown out the window. He was feeling happy. The thing that is wailing at that room right now, the one thing that he tried to deny the most yet has yearned for, for years has just made him happy.

Wanting to see their newborn, he stood up and made to open the door when his wife screamed once more. He halted in his tracks. The only thing that he had right now in his head is "Was there another baby coming?!"

Various panicked shouts echoed from the room.

"Mistress! What's wrong!"

"Quick! Prepare another hot water! There's another baby coming!"

"Y-Yes! Right away!"

Takashi heard another scream from his wife but he couldn't move even when a maid hurriedly came out from the room and bumped into him. His eyes had barely even registered the maid.

'There's another baby?'

He didn't know about this. All he knows is that there is suppose to be only one baby. Now that he thought about it, it has been a long time since the last time they came to a doctor. Reira's stomach was fairly big for only one child, too.

His previous worries for his wife came back full force.

Even after the doctor did her best, the last baby wasn't saved. The umbilical cord had wrapped itself around the baby's neck thus suffocating it. When the baby came out, no wailing were heard from it. It was already dead.

Takashi and Reira's hope has also been crushed when they found out that their firstborn is not a boy but a girl. But what made them shocked was that they found out that the one baby who died is the boy out of the two.

"We can always try for another one." That was what Takashi had said to his teary eyed wife as she clutched the dead baby in her hands. They were unconciously starting to hate their firstborn to the point that they never touched her even once and was just leaving her to the hands of one of the maids.

The doctor crushed all of their hope that was left when she said, "The placenta stucked to Reira's womb. There's no way you can have another baby for the only way for it to come off is to take the whole womb out."

It was as if their perfect world shattered before their eyes.

Ten years later... The baby girl was randomly named by the Kimura couple and was now known as Mio. She has been living in hell ever since the day she was born.

Her biological parents called her Murderer. They did everything they could to kill her. They would trick her to eat foods filled with poison, isolate her from others, scare her friends away when she make one so she was always alone.

Their reason whenever she asked why they hate her so much is always "Because you killed your brother! If you had not been born first then the one that should have died is you!"

Those words stung to Mio so much. She couldn't understand it at all. It was not her fault. She didn't even know what happened back then. Why blame her for something she didn't even did in the first place?

'Maybe they're right. If I wasn't born first or wasn't at all, then maybe I wouldn't have to suffer... maybe I wouldn't have to always do everything I can for them to love me...' was what she always thought.

Her grandmother, the one who was taking care of her instead of her real parents, was always spoiling her with clothes, toys, and love but it was never enough. Her time that she spends with her grandmother was limited and she always yearned for her parents love.

And then times would come when Mio's father would come home drunk. He'll verbally and physically abuse her each time. The servants of the house either didn't want to interfere or just didn't care, at all.

That's how she lived for the past ten years.

Until one day, she met 'Yuu'.

She didn't really met him since it was just a voice that came out of nowhere. His introduction was kind of awkward and when Mio pointed that out, he snapped at her so easily. It was really amusing to her. To Yuu? Not so much.

She was only ten so she thought of him as her imaginary friend. That's also what her grandmother told her.

Yuu would always comment at every little thing that he saw in her eyes. It was either annoying or funny. She started to smile more and more then.

Yuu's appearance has brought life to Mio's dark world. He would comfort her in his own awkward/snappish way whenever she cried and laugh with her at her best days. And to think that Mio already forgot what it feels like to have a friend.

3 years later at the age of 13, the day that Mio discovered Manga and Anime also came.

She was really surprised that she hadn't discovered something so amazing until that point in her life. She really didn't know what she was missing out on.

She would watch Shounen and Shoujo Anime alike with Yuu requesting the Shounen ones. He said he was really sick of watching only Shoujo ones.

The very first Anime and Manga that she loved was the one entitled 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn'.

(It was the one Yuu picked out from the list she made him choose from. Mio didn't know what made him pick that but she didn't really question it since he was actually was excited to watch it than the past ones that he picked himself.)

She could relate to the hate that Chrome felt from her parents. She also celebrated whenever Tsuna and Co. overcomes a trial.

Ever since then she had been aiming to become a Mangaka herself. Even to the point that she started attending a class that specializes in creating Manga. And in secret, too. She doesn't want to expereience a worse beating than before just because she attends a different class from the ones that her parents chose for her. (Yuu was very proud of her when she decided this one by herself.)

There, she met a different kinds of people. Even if there are only 6 people who attends the Mangaka Class, they all welcomed Mio and had a close knit bond. But in fear of them finding about how she was treated by her own parents and them leaving her, she started making up lies about how loving her family is.

Though it hurts to say untrue things about her parents, she didn't really have a choice either way. She would keep her parents' true nature to herself like what she would do about her having friends. She would keep either side from finding about each other. That's what Yuu told her to do.

The day when everything will change and all the pain would go away came 3 years later... October 5th.

She was just going home from school and, having finished class later than the usual, was hurrying home using her bike (The Kimura couple didn't even dare give her, her own driver which just forced her to use her old bike to and from school). She didn't to want to get in trouble since her bruises from the harsh beating two days ago was still sore.

Yuu, as usual, was warning her to slow down in the steep slope that will soon came into view at the speed they were having. It's not like Mio cared. If she fell down then big deal, that pain would be nothing compared to the ones that she suffered through before.

Her friends were actually very lucky that they could still see her smile honestly. If everything still continues then that smile would soon disappear, replaced by those forced smile. Like the fake ones that she always see in Mukuro's face at the start of the Kokuyo Arc. Ha. Mio was actually wondering when that would happen, though.

Hey, Mio.

Mio snapped our of her thoughts (she bit her lower lip when she realized it was a slightly bitter one) and listened closely to what Yuu was telling her, also unconciously noting that she's already heading down at the steep slope.

Pay attention to where you're going. You're not at the sidewalk anymore. You're already at the car lane!

Yuu's snappish voice that she was so used to hearing was unusually stiff. It was as if he was worried about something but she just shrugged it off. "I know that. You didn't need to tell me."

Just as Mio was nearing the end of the slope to the more flat and safe road, a car appeared out of nowhere at her side. She actually stared at it for a moment before she realized with horror and dread that it was heading straight for her. She panicked and pressed at her brakes making her stop instead of just pedaling forward and avoiding it like what normal people would do.

That was what she was regretting not doing. Tears welled up as the screams of panic from people around her, telling her to get out of the way, move, or do something, was slowly being unheard as her fear increased the more the speeding car gets closer.

Yuu, who was always there to comfort her, was not giving her any response as if he wasn't there like he used to.

'Why... at a time like this...?'

Mio could only closed her eyes and let the tears fall as the car was only a few metres away.

'Yuu...'

The impact was very painful. She took back everything she said. This pain was way more horrible than the ones she had before.

Her body made a horrible thud as she collided with the asphalt, her bike, landing a few feet away and as wrecked as her. The horrified screeches from the people who saw everything was deafining more than before.

Her breathing was ragged and her vision has black dots appearing at the corner. She can feel her broken ribs digging through her lung making breathing way more painful than it usually should. She had a nasty gash on her head, pouring out a lot of blood, from when she made impact on the ground. It didn't take a genius to know that she had a lot of broken bones from the thighs up and that she was dying.

'Even though I'm happy that everything would be all over... I didn't want to leave my friends behind.'

An image of her friends, laughing at the weird way that she draws Chibis from her Manga that was soon gonna debut this month, went through her mind. In fact, she remembered all of the counted times that she smiled and laughed wholeheartedly until...

An image of her grandmother smiling gently at her from the time last time they met suddenly appeared.

'And my Grandmother... I haven't told her yet how much I love her...'

She painfully moved her eyes towards the sky. It was clear and sunny. Almost as if it was saying 'good riddance' to her.

That hurt her heart.

Of all times, why did she have to die at this bright and sunny day? Couldn't it happen when it's raining so that it would somehow match what she was feeling right now? It is really that hard for it to happen even when she's already gonna die?

Though, she supposed that she's lucky she get to see a clear day in her final moments. Most people doesn't. At least, that's what she thought.

At long painful last, her heart beated it's last one against her chest. It happened at the moment when she couldn't breath anymore.

And just as her vision darkened, she saw a black haired blue eyed guy standing stiffly a little ways away from her and was mixing in with the crowd of people and medic. He was looking at her with dead eyes. His mouth formed two words just as she slowly closed her eyes.

"Sleep, Mio."

Me: YES! It's finished~

Natsumi: You said that you would upload it in two or more days, only to do it at the same day. Can't you make up you're mind?

Me: Nope! 😝 Anyway, I hope you liked reading this. I promise that I'll try to put up the next chapters on time. Oh, and I'm writing up a new story. It's called 'Cielo Infantile' or 'Childish Sky' in English. It's about a 7 year old Giotto coming to Tsuna's time because of a broken bazooka and mistooking him to be his Papa. Chapter 1 of that is almost finished!

Natsumi: Whatever. Now, review please! Tell us what you think of this crappy rewrite!

Me: Hey!
